The second time I killed amanda palmer

While I was sitting in Borders (finishing Zoe’s Tale [quick verdict: good, which is marginally amazing since I read it over three trips to Borders recently. Largely disjointed reading usually makes me lose interest and generally be fidgety at a book.] and at Panera I listened to Who Killed Amanda Palmer a couple more times.

The warm, full, rounded feeling I got from the production remains, but there’s a sense of fragility to the album that I missed the first time, like it’s barely holding itself together. It’s wonderful. There are obvious moments of Folds’ influence in the music, and I miss Viglione’s drumming, but there’s so much of what I loved in the first Dresden Dolls record on display here.
